[QUOTE="Vol1975, post: 2050875, member: 100380"] 2 things did you chronographs your loads and check speed for any thing strange second all Barrels are different. Some can be tight. cleaning between rounds can and will have an effect. If you leave any residue in barrel or chamber can increase pressure. I have also found that at least in my guns that a new clean barrel will produce a slight increase in pressure. one of my guns is just below it’s pressure limit. So when I clean my gun and it’s sparkle clean I’ve seen pressure signs. Hince I shoot a couple reduced loads to foul the barrel. From that point I don’t see any more problems. im not saying this is your problem I’m saying I’ve see it with a gun I own. that barrel may be close to pressure with those bullets. Personally I’d foul the barrel and check the speed. last. Can you fit a bullet into the fired case. U should have a loose fit between a fired piece of brass and a bullet. if not then u have a problem with neck clearance from the reamer The smith used. [/QUOTE]
